Good for Dr. Ore. People have a right to refuse fascist papers-please demands and they have a right to resist unjust arrests. http://ift.tt/1hn2iVW #WOC #StructuralRacism #AbolishThePolice “Ersula Ore, a professor of English, was walking in the middle of College Avenue near Fifth Street in Tempe on May 20 when an ASU police officer approached her, according to court documents. “Ore refused to provide her driver’s license after she was asked multiple times, ordered to present it, and warned she would be arrested if she failed to present her license, police said. “Ore [allegedly] resisted arrest by refusing to place her hands behind her back and instead [allegedly] wrapped her leg around the officer in an attempt to throw him off balance, according to the documents. . . .”

OK but is the best song on “Born This Way” 1. “Judas” or 2. “Americano”?

Thesis: X-Men: First Class was really pretty decent. But it would have been better, and character choices more appropriate, if the big bad of the film were Mister Sinister,* rather than Sebastian Shaw.

I heartily detest the “Outlook Web App” and all of its works.

So, if you didn’t already know, I want you to know that during the conflicts between Roger Williams and the Puritan establishment in colonial Massachusetts, over religious liberty and separation of church and state, Williams wrote a pamphlet in 1644 called: “The Bloudy Tenent of Persecution for Cause of Conscience” Then one of his main targets in the essay, the Puritan preacher John Cotton, responded with a defense of religious law, entitled: THE BLOUDY TENENT, WASHED, AND MADE WHITE IN THE BLOUD OF THE LAMB Then in 1652, Williams wrote a rejoinder to Cotton’s response, which he entitled: THE BLOUDY TENENT YET MORE BLOUDY BY MR. COTTON’S ENDEAVOUR TO WASH IT WHITE IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB Or, more fully: “The Bloudy Tenent Yet More Bloudy by Mr. Cotton’s Endeavour to Wash it White in the Blood of the Lamb; of Whose Precious Blood, Spilt in the Bloud of his Servants; and of the Blood of Millions Spilt in Former and Later Wars for Conscience Sake, That Most Bloody Tenent of Persecution for Cause of Conscience, upon, a Second Tryal Is Found More Apparently and More Notoriously Guilty, etc.” #Puritans #17thCenturyTitlesAreTheBest

You’re making this thing sound better and better, Guv.

X-Men 3: The Last Stand. Eh, it was pretty much OK.

This week on a very special Law & Order: Coercing Victims Unit, Det. Amaro beats a an alleged pedophile unconscious and his partner Det. Rawlins literally blackmails the victim in order to get him to drop the assault charges. Meanwhile Sgt. Benson uses a baby to gain emotional leverage over a sex worker in order to manipulate her into setting aside her fears for her own life and testifying against her murderer-rapist-child trafficker-robber pimp. Of course the woman is gang raped, murdered and set on fire by the end of the episode, so Sgt. Benson gets to keep the baby herself. #ExecutiveProducerDickWolf
